Hello.
What a shame , having had a Canon G9 and now the proud owner of an EP-1 their really is no comparison. The EP1 is so much better in nearly every area and feels like a real quality camera, and the results , well I'm afraid its you who is missing out . You really should try one , lets face it we don't buy these as our main camera but as a carry around , please try it and I guarantee you will fall in love .
